8-figure-exit founder here - thinking of giving away what I know about raising      capital before I retire. Would you come?

General Discussion

I have a crazy idea. All good ideas are crazy, right? lol

I'm a tech entrepreneur, turned startup advisor, with an 8-figure exit. It took 5 accelerators (one of them being Techstars) and 2 rounds to get there. I've learned a lot about getting into the right rooms and the investor rooms and what I know for sure is that most founders who fail to raise (who raise under standard in-market terms and not with a priced round way too early) simply just don't know how because they haven't been in the right rooms to learn and nobody has taken the time to explain it.

I've been going ham running a capital-raising accelerator (you can find us on f6S, etc.) for the past couple years and founders are raising, launching, growing - but I'm feeling like I'm close to ready to start slowing it down and stepping back.

So here's the idea and I want to float it before I build something and spend ad money on something that nobody wants. (We all know how that goes). If I host weekly Founder Capital Access meetings - for FREE - for founders to show up and learn what the investors aren't telling them - what they are looking for, how to get their interest, how to vet them, deal terms, -- just everything to raise a round in a way that protects the founders and the company - is that something that you would sign up for?

For me right now it's about providing as much founder access as I can before I step back and spend my days reading good books, traveling and finding things to do.

*Edit to add:

I'd like to respond to everyone personally, but I no longer can because there are too many comments.
I started last week and it's an ongoing free open series where we break down how angel capital really works, what investors look for, and how to position your company for a “yes.”

If you’re serious about raising capital, especially within the next year, this is info that you need. Check out my profile bio - that’s where you can find the link to register.
